Correlation of frequency fluctuations of a radio wave propagating in the turbulent atmosphere
Abstract
Calculations are presented of the correlation of the frequency fluctuations of signals received at ground stations from a geostationary satellite. An anisotropic model of the spectra of the turbulent irregularities is used to describe the fluctuations. Limiting expressions for various baselines are obtained, and it is shown that the frequency fluctuations are sensitive to the value of the spectral index.
